Getting cosmetic treatment is the beginning of your journey to boost your confidence and charisma. All treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, laser treatments for scars, and sclerotherapy, aim to deliver outcomes that showcase your best appearance. You can visit your appointment feeling confident when you understand the possible dangers that accompany medical procedures.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Our practice at Beauty by Doctor focuses on safety combined with patient education and customised care for the highest possible results. Worldwide, there is high trust in Australian practices for anti-wrinkle, biostimulator, and filler injections, although slight immediate reactions can occur as part of the procedure.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection Complications
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, reduce static wrinkles and fine lines on the face. With expert application, anti-wrinkle injections relax skin creases, producing a natural, more youthful appearance while maintaining genuine expressions.
Potential Complications:
Bruising: Small blood bruises can form at the injection sites where physicians administer their injections. This bruising will usually resolve itself within three to seven days.
Swelling: Light swelling can occur near the injection site but normally resolves within one to two days.
Ptosis (Droopy Eyelids): The movement of injectable substances to the lid muscles causes an unusual event that leads to short-term eyelid drooping. Under Dr Phoebe Jones' precise treatment method, BBD maintains an anti-wrinkle dosage rate of less than 0.1%.
Anti-wrinkle-related brow drop: A temporary brow lowering may occur, but it typically resolves naturally several weeks after onset. The drooping effect occurs in less than 1% of patients visiting BBD.
Infection: Post-treatment care instructions help prevent this outcome, which is an extremely uncommon event. The anti-wrinkle treatment at BBD provides both sterile conditions and professional supervision.
Neuropraxia of Marginal Mandibular Nerve: An asymmetrical smile is a temporary consequence of this rare condition. The expert approaches at BBD result in fewer than 0.01% of cases.

Dermal Fillers Complications
Using dermal fillers can help people restore their facial volume and smooth out facial lines, creating a youthful appearance. The Beauty by Doctor clinic utilises advanced fillers that meet customers' unique aesthetic needs.
Potential Complications:
Bruising and Swelling: These side effects are usually mild and brief, typically dissipating within one to seven days.
Lumps or Irregularities: Soft lumps occasionally appear, but practitioner touch or massage techniques will normally correct them.
Vascular Occlusion: Rare but serious. Blocked blood flow due to filler misplacement requires immediate treatment based on well-established safety procedures at BBD.
Tyndall Effect: A superficial placement of fillers might produce a bluish-coloured appearance. Expert practitioners at BBD possess the capabilities to prevent this issue.
Most adverse effects from dermal fillers are short-term issues that remain minor. Complications, such as vascular occlusion, are infrequent when an experienced and skilled professional injector performs your treatment. Early detection, combined with appropriate medical treatment from qualified practitioners, results in safe recovery after complications occur.
Laser Treatments
Laser systems enable medical solutions that address pigmentation conditions and scarring problems. The therapy facilitates the controlled transmission of light energy into the skin tissue, triggering the growth of new cells and collagen synthesis.
Potential Complications:
Redness and Swelling: Most individuals experience redness after laser scar treatments, but this condition will resolve within a few days.
Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: People with darker skin tones may experience changes in skin colour as a short-term effect. Through proper planning and correct follow-up care methods, the risk decreases substantially.
Scarring: Rare, but possible. BBD successfully reduces the possibility of scarring through its medical-grade laser technology combined with customised plans.
Sclerotherapy
The procedure of sclerotherapy generally leads to brief and minor adverse reactions. However, medical patients should be aware of the infrequent but severe complications.
Sclerotherapy Complications
Sclerotherapy is an effective medical option for managing spider and small varicose veins. Sclerotherapy procedures, which show minimal invasiveness and good tolerance, bring about several brief side effects, which include:
Potential Complications:
Bruising and Tenderness: Patients may experience minor and acceptable complications from sclerotherapy treatments for varicose veins, which should subside within two weeks.
Hyperpigmentation: The affected veins may develop brown marks that naturally disappear completely within 3 to 6 months.
Matting: Red spots around the treatment zone may appear as tiny blood vessels, although these lesions typically heal themselves during the recovery process or with additional medical procedures.
Rare but Important Risks to Understand
The procedure carries a serious risk, as the accidental entry of the solution into arteries rather than veins poses a significant danger. When the sclerosing solution enters the arterial bloodstream instead of the venous bloodstream, it can cause tissue damage and other harmful implications.
Ulceration: A leak of the sclerosing agent from the vein remains extremely rare. The experienced methods of BBD prevent this from happening.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): DVT is an extremely unlikely complication that Beauty By Doctor minimises through their post-treatment mobility programs and specialised aftercare approach.
Biostimulator Injections Complications
Over time, Sculptra stimulates collagen production to restore facial volume and structure after injection, making it a biostimulatory injectable. The following reactions are possible:
Potential Complications:
Swelling and Bruising: The most typical reactions of Sculptra will improve within a few days. Such reactions exist as natural elements during the healing process.
Tenderness: People often experience mild tenderness in the treated region following treatment, although rest should help normalise the symptoms.
Redness: Irritation and flushing in the treated area can appear for a day and disappear without medical assistance.
Granulomas: The development of firm, small lumps often occurs beneath the skin surface. The benign growths that appear after the procedure can remain for extended periods without posing harm. However, doctors may need to treat them with steroid injections, followed by rare instances of surgical extraction.
Infection: The injection procedure carries a small, yet inherent, risk of developing an infection. Symptoms such as redness, swelling and warmth are signs of infection and require you to visit your doctor as soon as possible.
Unevenness or Asymmetry: The results may show minor irregularities when the swelling has not completely stabilised. These irregularities can be corrected with minor modifications.
The most effective way to minimise complications is to choose a well-trained and experienced medical professional. Such professionals understand facial structures and master precise injection methods while also being able to identify possible complications swiftly.
